00:00:00 --> 00:00:21
			This in Europe took over, they began to spread a type of religion that had no respect for the real
creator of the heavens in the earth. More respect was paid for a person based on the color of the
skin, or based on the money that you have, or the clothing that you have your material things.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:39
			Also, no respect was given to the earth. And instead of planting crops, according to the
environment, that is how people used to plant their crops, they would rotate their crops and the
soil would enrich itself. They planted cash crops.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:01:03
			And by doing this, they destroyed the economy of the countries. And so people were forced to come
into the large cities. And now we see in many parts of the world, we see this xenophobia, which is
spreading the fear of foreign people, of different people. And it is not something which is
particular to Africa.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			Some of the worst forms of xenophobia we will find today in Japan,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:16
			in China, and of course, what happened in Yugoslavia, the former Yugoslavia when you have a beloved
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:36
			when the people the Bosnian Croat Serbian people living together in a cosmopolitan city, suddenly,
the Serbians and Croats were killing the Bosnians, as though they were they hated enemies. So
demonization when fear is put into the hearts and the minds of people
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:42
			and they lose their touch with the Creator. They are capable of doing anything.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			When more immortality comes, when you expose your body,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			when you love to see people
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			in a naked position,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:24
			when you love immorality, your hero becomes a gangster, or a thief. When you lose your higher. The
promise of Salam said higher, no higher man, that shame and modesty is part of faith. But then he
said either lamp tester, first, not now shelter, if you don't have higher, if you don't have any
morality and shame, then you will do anything. You are capable of doing anything.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:32
			So sadaqa rasool Allah Alayhi Salatu was Salam. It came to pass
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			this hatred,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:49
			but change, we cried for change. And we realized that Allah said, He will not change the condition
of a people until they change that which is in themself. So let us go back to the beginning.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:58
			Let us go back to the beginning of time with one of the great Imams of Islam. Imam Malik Ibn Anas
Rahim Allah
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:08
			and the great Imam of Donald Hegira of Medina. He has reported to have said, Oh Allah Maha see al
Qaeda. Well, Hassan was sure.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			He said the first of the sins was pride
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:42
			and jealousy and greed. Think of these three elements. We want to change ourself. We want to look
inside of ourselves. The Imam said the first of the since it is pride. How did this come about? And
then he said Rahim, Allah has said the Iblees what's a kappa? For Karla? Kolak 20 minute in well,
collector who maintain
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:30
			the mom that said, the bliss the shaytaan? Well, yeah, the villa in the beginning of time, when Adam
was created. And when he was asked to bow down, and he saw that Adam knew the name of everything.
Adam had great wisdom. How sad that you please. He became jealous of how sad and then he became
arrogant. And he said, You created me from fire. And you created him from clay. So he was the first
racist. He was the first person that looked at the makeup of another individual and said I'm better
than him, because I'm created from another substance. And so he became proud and arrogant. Then
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:48
			when Adam Alayhis Salam Hawa is now created. Now the Imam continues for color to Allah, for coolamon
hate to share tumor. Well that Takara had the shirt euro for shahada, Adam, Hatha, Akela Mina.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			Then Allah subhanaw taala said to Adam and Hawa so eat from wherever you please but do not
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			approach the tree Don't come near the tree.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			And Adam got greedy, and he ate from the tree.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:14
			And so the three first major sins and mistakes, how sad.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			Kebab Kibriya pride
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			that show greed, desires, following desires.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:35
			These are three important elements. Why are we jealous of another person? We are usually jealous
because of a material thing. They have a new baby.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			He has a new car.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:55
			Jealousy is not when you want a car like kiss. That's okay. But if you want the car and you hate
that you see Ali driving his new car, you hate it. And you put out a negative thing against him for
something material. This is Hassan.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:07
			And the strange thing about how sad is that the person who has Hassan Al Asad is more affected than
the Massoud. So the one who has jealousy.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			He is more affected than the one he's jealous of.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			He destroys himself. He can't be satisfied at
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			the Prophet SAW Selim spoke about the danger.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:30
			He spoke about the danger of this and he said Jaco will hazard for in Al Hasakah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:47
			Yeah, cool has sanity come on Takota Natl Hata. He said, Beware of jealousy. It will eat up your
good deeds as a fire. It's a fire. You fasted Ramadan, you jealous of another person, burns it up.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			You give sadaqa destroys all your good deeds.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:07
			Beware of jealousy. And know that all the created things if a person has money, that's not
necessarily a blessing. You will see Muslims in different parts of the Muslim world. When they got
money, they actually became destroyed.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:40
			So money is not necessarily a blessing. Pride, proud of my color, proud of my language, proud of my
wealth. This is the danger. Another major thing. The real pride is with Allah subhanaw taala.
Because how is no matter how beautiful you think you are, and you die, nobody's going down to that
hole with you. No matter how much money you have, we come from a simple place, a humble place and we
shall return to a humble place. So why are we proud?
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:48
			Why are we proud with the little energy and strength that we have with this can be taken away from
us in the twinkling of an eye.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			And so number two is pride. The last one is greed
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:59
			following desires and this is something which is widespread throughout the years.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:31
			Allah subhanaw taala has given us many examples. And one of the most beautiful ways the Quran
teaches it gives us examples not only from the world of people, but it gives us examples from the
world of animals and insects. And we know in the Quran, there are three insects in particular, we
have certain certain animal and certain uncoupled. We have the chapter of the bees, the ants and the
spiders.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:45
			And for a long time we studied the bees the bees have beautiful honey. So we studied the bees they
uncovered the spider has its webs and we study this but the number the act
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:53
			this is an amazing creature of Allah subhanaw taala and in this ad in the life of the end,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:09
			in the essence of the act, you will see much oneness insert to normal verses 17 and 18. When the
normal is mentioned in the Quran, Allah azza wa jal is saying oh the bIllahi min ash shaytani regime
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:59
			well Hoshido the SU lay man what you know do hoomin agenda well NC will play it for home use r1 is

00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
